If it makes you sick how is that ever acceptable?
Roundup tests top of the list for glyphosate
What about things like canning lids? There is a coating on inside of the lid. Mylar bags? Plastic storage bags?
Do you live near big fields that they spray, my friend is exposed to this toxin for that reason.
Glyphosate causes low sperm levels and miscarriages
Actually you can get organic grains from Azure and it turns out to be cheaper than buying grains from a feed store. You just make your own. They also have already made, it’s a little more expensive but it is also organic.
It’s probably in your water in the aquifer.
Speaking as a combat veteran, the man who became the older brother I never had fought in Vietnam. Two years ago he died from the effect of Agent Orange. As useful as it could be, I just can't use roundup on our farm. Thank You for putting yourself out there and sharing this. How did you get tested?
Must listen to Don Huber, he is THE real expert on glyphosate.
The fuel thing...aircraft exhaust maybe???
Thank you for doing this! Very helpful!
Did you test your hay? It’s alarming to know how much garbage is sprayed on hay-weed killers and fertilizers.
I am very sorry to hear about your contamination problem. But it does raise questions in my mind. How successful is our organic life style. On the good side your land and ground warer test as safe. The chicken feed that you know is contaminated. You may want to have laboratory test it so you can know the level of contamination more accuratly.. Also you may want a laboratory test of one of your frozen chickens. Is it possible only one or a few bags of animal feed is the source of contamination?
Are you eating organic? Do you live close to conventional farmers and big animal production
I enjoy these types of videos, but often wonder where does it end??? Even with all the checking there’s still so many variables that our outside of one’s control Idk
Very interesting. Keep us updated on what you find.
I use an extraordinary amount of eggs at first it would seem like I only consume a few a day. However since I also feed them to my livestock, use them in my garden then that means my consumption of eggs is more than what I think it is. Is it possible that you consume eggs indirectly more than you realize. For example I make a fertilizer out of egg shells, could what is in their feed come through the shells? Feed certainly has an outcome on the shells so it would make sense that it would. The use for eggs on a farm is endless... that is where I would look... might not hurt to test your livestock's manures if they too eat eggs.
Everyone is worried about CO2 (plant food) instead of the real pollution that's slowly killing everything. You should also test your organic foods for toxic metals like copper and arsenic. Some organic farmers use metal-based pesticides and those are WAY MORE toxic than any modern pesticide. Most people have no idea that some farmer have just switched to an even more toxic chemical that people are not looking for.
You should test your coffee to see if it has high levels.
It’s possible that your body composition is such that you are not able to actively detox properly. Look into MTHFR and other methylation gene mutations as a possible source. Of course glyphosate is also carried on the wind when it’s sprayed so it’s possible a neighbor is polluting the air and that could be a main source.
Hi Josh and Carolyn, why don't you just test the bone broth for each animal group? Glyphosate collects in the bones so should give you a clearer result. On another note, coffee also sees a high use of glyphosate.
QUESTION: Could it be getting in the air when the farmers around you spray? A breeze or wind blowing it in your direction and y’all breathing it in?
I don’t think our body’s were designed to filter out glyphosate… maybe they are. When God made Adam, He might have had some of this in mind, I don’t know. While I haven’t done a lot of research, I do feel that glyphosate can be stored for a long time in our bodies. These levels could be from 20-30 years ago😭
Where did your u get the testing?
We got it done here: www.drtorriethompson.com/homesteadingfamily
i was all for getting tested until I saw the price. Maybe some hear can afford a $1,000 -$1,700 bucks but my social security won't allow that... Pretty crazy price. I get it I really do but everyone here has to make that decision.
You're very lucky on your grains and flour. The FDA has approved to use glyphosate on organic grain crops 3 days before harvest. It forces the dying plant to push all energy into making the grains larger and to dry the fields evenly for better Harvest
They are screwing with the chicken feed
I'm so glad it's not your soil - that would be so complicated. Yes I agree that there is another source not just the 15 percent from the eggs and chicken. We are very interested in your research and praying that you find conclusive answers!!!
Given that the source seems to be animal feed you need to also consider that your exposure may not only be indirect consumption but also physical exposure. The transfer rate to your bloodstream may actually be higher upon physical exposure. Feed also gets into the air when you're moving it around causing inhalation exposure. If your wife has more physical exposure to the feed, maybe that could explain her higher levels. I'm no expert in this area. Just trying to help track down the source.
Would you be willing to share the brand of layer and broiler feed you use?
Our veggies could be killing us... Check out Dr Anthony Chaffee/Dr. Ken Berry
I’d hate to see how high us average joe’s test at. I hope you can continue to find the answers. For all of us.
Can you put a link for the original tests you took. Would like to see about my family's results. Also, is it possible, the toxins are accumulative and don't leave your body. And even though you are eating well now, the time before you got to the place you are now as far as 80/20 with what you intake, that you got high enough exposure that it is still in your body? And did you take samples from multiple places on your farm as far as soil and water? I pray you will find your source and get it straight for you and your family. Something to consider... if you yest your kids, and they don't have high results. It could help rule out some places. Such as what I mentioned earlier, or the coffee if they aren't exposed, etc.
This is where we got the testing done: www.drtorriethompson.com/homesteadingfamily
That home test gives me an idea & i think the next time my husband has to go infor labs, I'm going to have his Dr test for these contaminants too. Can you feed the feed you give the pig's or cow's? It doesn't take much to fatten the meat chicken's especially, may soak it for 10 mins, but since that feed passed, I'd use what your already getting. I'm in Idaho too, surrounded by farmland.
My husband has run water treatment plants for municipalities for the past 30+ years. He says that test strips are very unreliable…at least for water testing. He says you are better off using a water testing facility in your area. I don’t know about testing your soil and animal feed but I would assume that those test strips are unreliable also. Before assuming everything tested is in the acceptable range, I would find water and soil testing facilities and have the tests done again.
I was in an old home, but had to leave because of mold; tested and had 3 types. Aflotoxin was 1, and I eat organic, no coffee. Also, tested very high in glyphosate, as I said, organic eating, 15 years. I was told kids parks, city areas, and roadways are sprayed. I am doing an extra fiber supp, and a charcoal detox, Berberine, and NAC. Thanks for doing this!
Just wondering.... Is it possible that glyphosate CONCENTRATES in the meat of the animal? Chicken fat, chicken liver, etc...???
Is there ANY chance that your tests were wrong? Praying for you and your family.
I don't know this as fact but "i have heard" that government/corporations are spraying unhealthy chemicals across the USA. Some reports by ordinary citizens show this unknown dust covering vehicles (a great place to notice it). I haven't seen any videos/reports of any testing of this dust. Hopefully, someone will do this and let us all know the results.
Thank you for this video. I start a new garden this year and I will try to apply some of your strategie to help me keep my garden without seeds. That's one of my goal this year and it will not be easy with 3 little kids.
There is something in biology called biological magnification, where a little toxin in an animal gets magnified as it moves through the food chain. This my be important to your testing results.
God help us all!
Is there a possibility that you could be getting glyphosate in your coffee too? i know you mentioned one toxin already that you were getting through the coffee, per chance it could be this toxin as well coming from the coffee.. it has to be something you both are around or both consume that the children aren't around or consuming as much as the both of you do. I'm invested now so please keep us updated on this research. You've def inspired me to test my family and see what we need to adjust in our family to rid our lives of toxins.
Please share the coffee you switch to!
Have you studied the level in which these toxins effect different blood types? It's more harmful to the A and B being run down in immune defense strength at 30 to 40 years in age. Than it effects the O type; O type blood usually makes it through life with no immune weaknesses. But even they are suffering weak immune defense at 60's to 70's without eating organic clean foods and taking defending immune supplements...
Do you directions for sauerkraut? I tried making it once and it wasn't successful.
Here it is: homesteadingfamily.com/lacto-fermented-sauerkraut-recipe/
Do you eat OATS (granola, oatmeal, boxed cereals, etc)? Commercially grown n0n-organic oats (also barley and wheat) are heavily sprayed with glyphosate.
Have you tested one or more of your children?
and they still sell roundup. government cover-up maybe!
Where did you get this toxic test done?
We had our testing done here: www.drtorriethompson.com/homesteadingfamily
